OIL-STOVE.

forming part of Letters'Patent Nb. 617,976, dated January 17, 1399., v Application filed December 17, 1897. Serial No. 662,285. (No model.) i

To all whom it may concern: I I

Be it known that we, WILLIAM H. WILDER and CHARLES K. STINSON, citizens of the United States, residing at Gardner, Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful'lmprovementsin Oil-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to oil-stovesof the class shown and described in the United Ic States patent of William H. Wilder, dated December 7, 1897, No. 595,231. The stove in its general features as shown herein has been made the subject of an application by the said William H. Wilder, and this joint application 1 5 relates to certain features of construction, which'will be particularly described, and fully pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is aseetional'view through theframeof the stove co and through some of the other parts, the reservoir and combustion-chamber being shown in side elevation. Fig. 2 is a detail view showing the burner and means for operating it. Fig. 3 is ainodification. The frame of the stove is shown at Aand the top at B. Thereservoir is shown at O, and this is intended to represent a removable reservoir having a valve in its bottom and adapted to maintain the oil-level at a defi- 3o nitely-deterniin'd height in the chamber a,

into which it fits. The oil flows from this chamber through the pipe I) and into the horizontal pipe 0 to the burners. While we have shown but one burner, it will of course be i 3 5 understood that one or more burners may be used. The burner comprises an oil-holder d and combustion-chamber e, substantially as shown in the aforesaid applications, and the burner is vertically movable across the line 0 of theoil-level, so that more or less oil will be contained in the holder d and the flame correspondinglyincreasesordiminishes. The opposite sides of the holder at are connected by a tube or channel f, extending across the 5 annular space, and this in turn is connected with a vertical pipe g, which passes through a stufiing-box or packing at the top and bottom of the vertical pipe 71., incasing the pipe The end of the pipe 0 fits into an extension '5 of the tubeh and directs the oil into the space between the tube and the pipe 9. An opening or openings k in the pipe 9 will permit the oil to flow from the tube h into the pipe and from thence into the holder. The burner is raised or lowered by means of 5 5 a hand-lever Z, connected at one end m with the lower end of the tube 9 and havinga pivotal connection through a link 91. with a support which is fastened around the tube It.

This forms a very simple means for adjust- 6o ing the burner and at the same timepermits of a constant feed of oil to the burner by reason of the construction described of the tube 9 and the tube It surrounding it. Above the combustion-chamber, in an opening made in the top of the stove, we support a grate p, and in order to prevent any liquid contents of the vessel overflowing into the combustionchamber we use aprotecting-disk q,.which is in the form of a simple disk of metal fitting the center of the grate and adapted to prevent anything from passing to the space between the tubes of the combustion-chamber.

Instead of directing the oil to the pipe, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, we may, as shown in Fig. 3, have the supply-pipe bent upward or provided with a vertical extension h and fit the pipe g into it, providing a packing at the upper end of the extension h, and leave the lower end of the pipe g open, so that the oil will flow directly into the openend of the pipe g and from thence into the holder.

What we claim is 1. In an oil-stove, a reservoir having a maintained oil-level, a feed-pipe leading therefrom, a burner comprising an oil-holder and a combustion-chamber surmounting the same and a centrally-arranged supply-pipe having sliding connection with the feed-pipe, substantially as described.

2. In an oil-stove, an oil-supply having a maintained oil-level, a burner comprising'an oil-holder vertically movable across the line of the oil-level to regulate the depth of oil therein or empty it, and a feed-pipe deliver- 5 ing oil to the=bottom of the oil-holder, the connection between the feed-pipe and linepipe being such as to permit of the vertical adjustment of the burner, substantially as described. :00

holder is quickly filled or emptied, substantially as described.

4. In combination in an oil-stove, a burner, IO afnel-snpply including an oil-chamber, a pipe connected with the burner and extending through the oil-chamber with an opening intermediate of its length to receive the oil from the oil-chamber and means for raising and lowering the said pipe with the burner, said means being connected with the lower projecting end of said pipe, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
